301 The expensive dinner (1/2)

There was more?

What was actually their menu for dinner?

The five men were long gone by now. They looked so heartbroken unable to eat and it was all because of this soup?

Jeremy was not sure what to think about this. He expected the speciality would be seafood as this was an island but who could guess he would eat a bowl of short rib soup instead.

Tony arrived with a tray full of small dishes. Without wasting another moment, he quickly arranged them on the table. It seemed like each of them got a set each. There was no need to share the dishes.

”Sir, please have a taste. You won't regret it,”

Tony said politely. He was already sitting on his seat, waiting for the boss to start eating before he could start. He licked his lips hungrily, could not wait anymore.

Jacob and Greg looked at Jeremy, watching his action. Would he insist on changing to another place for their dinner or taste the food Tony seemed to be proud of?

Jeremy finally reached for the wooden chopsticks and a wooden spoon. With the spoon, he scooped a spoonful of the broth and tasted it slowly.

Jacob, Greg and Tony watched Jeremy with bated breath. Would he like it?

The older woman, Aunty Sunny, already started to tidy up the place except for one chair, indicating only one more set left for the customer. Once everything was sold out, she could go home. One more customer to wait… hmm…

She hoped she did not have to wait for long.

Back to Jeremy…

Once the broth swirled in his mouth, his eyes widened. He looked at Tony, before at the short rib soup. He was so shocked, he ended up did not say anything but staring at the soup.

Tony quickly reached for his utensils and started to devour his food happily. Boss approved of the food and they could enjoy them.

Greg quickly followed suit. He was too hungry to care. But once he tasted the broth and then the meat, his eyes widened.

In no time, all the dishes were cleaned. Nothing was left, even the small piece of cucumber. Jacob and Tony leaned back against the chair and rubbed their stomach happily.

Jeremy took out his wallet and looked at Tony. ”How much?”

Tony blurted out the price without wasting any time and the three men looked at him in disbelief. So expensive?
